Gonzalo Higuain's agent, who is also his brother, has said that the player is nearing a switch to Arsenal.

The Londoners seem set to sign the player after their main rivals Juventus bought Carlos Tevez.

"I think that Higuain is now closer to Arsenal," he told TMW. "Juventus are a great club, but Gonzalo is too expensive for them. Napoli are a strong side and that place represents a lot for Argentines.
